Caryn Johnson [aka Whoopi Goldberg] apologizes yet again over anti-Semitic regurgitations she made

High school drop-out and thrice divorced former comedienne Caryn Elaine Johnson, [aka Whoopi Goldberg] does not know when to stop talking, especially when comments offend so many decent people who find anti-Semitism repugnant.

Goldberg [who dropped Johnson and appropriated the Jewish surname] was blasted by the Anti-Defamation League for making "deeply offensive" comments in an interview with The Sunday Times of London.

Goldberg suggested that Jews are not a race. “My best friend said, ‘Not for nothing is there no box on the census for the Jewish race.’ So that leads me to believe that we’re probably not a race,” the co-host of "The View" shared.

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement that Goldberg’s comments “are deeply offensive and incredibly disappointing, especially given that this is not the first time she had made remarks like this. In a moment when antisemitic incidents have surged across the U.S., she should realize that making such ignorant statements can have real consequences.”

In a move to save her job, Goldberg has since apologized once again, in a statement to Variety. If you believe her this time, I would like to interest you in an investment property in Giza, where cotton is a My Pillow miracle.

“Recently while doing press in London, I was asked about my comments from earlier this year,” she said. “I tried to convey to the reporter what I had said and why, and attempted to recount that time. It was never my intention to appear as if I was doubling down on hurtful comments, especially after talking with and hearing people like rabbis and old and new friends weighing in. I’m still learning a lot and believe me, I heard everything everyone said to me. I believe that the Holocaust was about race, and I am still as sorry now as I was then that I upset, hurt and angered people. My sincere apologies again, especially to everyone who thought this was a fresh rehash of the subject. I promise it was not. In this time of rising antisemitism, I want to be very clear when I say that I always stood with the Jewish people and always will. My support for them has not wavered and never will.”

Yeah, sure.

Goldberg was referring to the anti-Semitic comments she made earlier this year on The View, when she claimed the Holocaust was not racially motivated when the panel of semi-geniuses were discussing a Tennessee school district's decision to ban Art Spiegelman's novel about the Holocaust, Maus.

“Well also, if you’re going to do this, then let’s be truthful about it, because the Holocaust isn’t about race. It’s not about race,” Goldberg said in February.

She was suspended from the ABC show for a mere 2 weeks, which ABC News President Kin Godwin announced in a statement.

“Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her wrong and hurtful comments,” Godwin wrote. “While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve ask her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments. The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family and communities.”

But the semi-genius couldn't keep her thoughts to herself and like her high school experience, learned nothing from it.

Should she be fired from "The View"? 

It's her First Amendment right to say stupid crap and it might even reveal to some of her liberal audience just how biased their pundits are. It's like the old say that leftists want to shut conservatives up while conservatives want leftists to keep talking.

Thoughts?

Caryn Johnson [aka Whoopi Goldberg] doubles down on her anti-Semitic remarks

Jewish community members and activists are demanding that Caryn Johnson who goes by Whoopi Goldberg be terminated from the Special Ed. show known as "The View" after the former comedienne doubled-down on a past Holocaust remark she made, which created an angry outcry on social media from Jews and Gentiles alike.

The adipose African-American woman got suspended about ten months ago after she bloviated that the Holocaust was "not about race," but she evidently didn't learn anything from the suspension. 

In an interview with the U.K.'s The Sunday Times, the low-information racist showed no remorse for her past sentiments about the targeted, systematic killing of six million Jews for the crime of being Jews.

She also claimed the Nazis targeted people of African descent in addition to Jews because they were physically different and went as far as to suggest that Jews had an easier time blending in with White people and hiding from the Nazis than Black people did at the time of the Holocaust.

"It doesn’t change the fact that you could not tell a Jew on a street. You could find me. You couldn’t find them. That was the point I was making," she ignorantly said. "But you would have thought that I’d taken a big old stinky dump on the table, butt naked." 

At which point the interviewer, Janice Turner, threw up in her mouth.

The Times of Israel called Goldberg's comments "incendiary" in an article Sunday, pointing out that while her real name is Caryn Elaine Johnson, the racist has no Jewish ancestry and adopted a more "Jewish-sounding" stage name.

Goldberg's Holocaust comments in February, which led to her two-week suspension from the network and a subsequent apology, stunned many in the Jewish community. At the time, faith leaders, activists and online critics encouraged her to educate herself on the topic, but largely supported her return to the somewhat retarded show.

Now, with her obvious lack of remorse as seen in her latest interview, some are calling for her termination over her history of ignorant statements that categorize the Holocaust as a "white-on-white crime," rather than what it was.

Perhaps she unveiled her true anti-Semitic, anti-White racism after Kanye West [aka Ye] went public with his. As Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby said of anti-Semitism in response to Goldberg, that . . . "history's oldest and most toxic hatred--is surging, but Whoopi is determined to trivialize it."

Lucy Lipiner, a Holocaust survivor and author of "Long Journey Home: A Young Girl's Memoir of Surviving the Holocaust" responded:

"Whoopi Goldberg continues to use the Holocaust as her punching bag. We told her that her comments harm us and she simply doesn’t care." 

"I survived the Nazis and the Holocaust," she added, "so I’ll be damned if I let a comedy has-been, peddling a fake Jewish name get the better of me."

Newsweek contributor Joel Petlin wrote: 

"Accepting apologies from some people who spew Antisemitic garbage is the triumph of hope over experience. We know that the Antisemitism will likely reoccur, but we still hope that they learned something along the way. Alas Whoopi just learned she could get away with it. Again."

In her write-up of the interview, the Times' Janice Turner revealed that, "Even now [Goldberg] does not understand why her remarks offended. She insists Jewish people themselves are divided about whether they are a race or a religion."

One thing that is abundantly clear is that we should never be fooled into believing that being a celebrity equates with intelligence. Goldberg is simply a black Karen who spells it differently. It's time for Caryn Johnson to find another means of employment.
